Nie Xiaohu stood up, hugged his fists and said: "I've seen Cui Yuanwai, in Xia Nie Xiaohu, he is the chief catcher of the southern district of Luoyang City. ”

"It turned out to be Lord Nie, and the old man is seeing the adult!" , Cui Yuanwai gave another salute.

Nie Xiaohu nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Feng Kun and said, "Shopkeeper Feng, you go on!" ”

"Yes! Last night Cui Yuanwai and his housekeeper drove a carriage to my shop, after dinner, Cui Yuanwai called me aside, and quietly told me that he went out to collect the account, a guest with a string of precious pearl necklace to pay for the goods, he was not at ease, afraid that the night was stolen by thieves, so he asked me if I could find a safe place to put the necklace overnight, and gave me two taels of silver for the custody fee.

So I thought of the secret room in the backyard, and for the sake of insurance, Cui Yuanwai also let his housekeeper live in the secret room, and took the key to the iron box and the key on the door of the secret room, locked the door inside, and I locked the door from the outside, so that it should be foolproof.

As soon as I got up this morning, I went to the backyard secret room, but I saw this scene! I hurriedly opened the lock on the outside of the door, but the inside of the door was locked and could not be opened at all, so I hurriedly called someone to go to the city to report to the official. ”

"Outside of Cui Yuan, is there anything missing from what Shopkeeper Feng just said?"

"It's gone," Cui Yuanhao said after a little thought.

"Is the deceased your steward?"

"Yes, it's my housekeeper, his name is Song Zhe, and he has been in my house for eight years."

"How much is that lost pearl necklace worth?"

"This ......", Cui Yuanhao hesitated slightly, "It's worth a hundred taels of gold!" ”

"One hundred taels of gold!"

Nie Xiaohu's eyes suddenly widened a lot, and everyone in the hall gasped, with an unbelievable expression on their faces.

"How can a string of pearls be worth so much money?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"My lord doesn't know, this string of pearls are all produced in the South China Sea, a total of twenty-eight, each of which is the same size, the size of a dragon's eye, and it is very precious, and it is worth 100 gold or to say that it is a little less."

"Oh", Nie Xiaohu nodded, frowning and thinking about it.

"Little stone!"

"Tiger Head!" , Shi Yuning heard the call, and immediately took a few steps to Nie Xiaohu's approach.

"You ......", Nie Xiaohu whispered a few words in Shi Yuning's ear.

"Oh yes!" , Shi Yuning agreed, turned around and left the inn.

"Report to the chief catcher, the stone door has been smashed open!" At this time, a catcher walked in quickly.

The stone door of the chamber was smashed open with a large hole that was more than one person high, and the ground inside and outside the door was full of smashed stones. 【愛↑去△小↓說△網 Qu 】

"Clean up all these rocks, be careful not to damage the traces of the scene!" , Nie Xiaohu said as he walked in from the doorway

The stones at the door were quickly cleaned up, and the autopsy began to be performed, Nie Xiaohu carefully surveyed the scene, there was no trace of a fight in the house, the stone door was locked inside, and there was no trace of the lock being pried, there were a few drops of blood remaining on the ground at the door, and the deceased was lying face down on the ground, with a deep wound on his chest.

The autopsy results came out quickly, and the cause of death was death caused by someone stabbing him in the chest with a dagger or something, and the time of death was around midnight last night.

"How did the murderer get in and how did he get out? If the murderer hid in this secret room one step before them, then how did he leave after the stone door was locked from the inside? It's a bit unbelievable! ”

Nie Xiaohu frowned and thought for a while, not having a clue at all.

"Brother Tiger, do you think it will be like this, the murderer used a long bamboo pole outside the door, tied a hook to the head of the bamboo pole, and hooked out the necklace?"

"Impossible", Nie Xiaohu shook his head, "Don't forget that there is also the housekeeper Song Zhe in the house!" ”

"He can kill Song Zhe first, and then hook the necklace away."

"If so, what about the murder weapon? There was no murder weapon in the house. ”

"The murderer can tie a rope to a dagger, and then throw it with a flying knife, and then pull the dagger back after killing Song Zhe?"

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"According to what you say, the murderer first asked Song Zhe to obediently open the iron box, then killed him with a flying knife tied to a rope, and finally hooked the necklace away with a hook?" , Nie Xiaohu smiled slightly.

"This ......?" , Cao Xiaohui couldn't help pursing her lips, then sighed again and shook her head slightly.

"Let's find out about the situation first!" , Nie Xiaohu stepped out of the secret room and went straight to the hall on the first floor.

"Where did you all come from, what are you called, and what do you do?"

Nie Xiaohu looked at the five people in the hall and asked, "Say it one by one, you say it first!" Nie Xiaohu pointed at the dark-skinned man with his hand.

"Adult, the little one's name is Wang Da Niu, from Qingzhu Village, the little one is a date seller, I was going to go into the city early in the morning to sell my two baskets of dates, but I didn't come up with such a thing."

Wang Daniu stood up and said resignedly, with a little fear in his eyes.

"Selling dates?"

"Yes!"

"And where are your dates?"

"It's in my room!"

"Go get it!"

"Good!"

Wang Daniu nodded and went upstairs.

"What about you?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at the pretty woman and asked.

"My lord, old lady", the woman suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand, and Nie Xiaohu also rolled her eyes helplessly.

"The little woman's name is He Furong, and she is from Fengyu Town," He Furong said softly.

"You'd better talk well, I don't sound awkward when you talk like this!" , Nie Xiaohu shook his head.

"Oh, my lord, you said it earlier, you see this suffocates me!" , He Furong breathed a long sigh of relief, then shook her head with a big grin, and stroked the bangs in front of her forehead with her hand.

"I opened a rice noodle shop in the town, and the business is not bad, and the people in the town call me rice noodle Shih Tzu!"

"Rice noodles Shih Tzu?" , Nie Xiaohu couldn't help but smile, "Then what are you doing here?" ”

"Check the accounts!" , He Furong shook the small abacus in her hand and made a "bang, bang" sound.

"I opened three branches in the city, and I'm going to check the accounts today!"

"Hmm", Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and motioned for He Furong to sit down.

At this time, Wang Daniu had already carried two big baskets downstairs and put the picks in the hall.

"My lord, it's all here!" After Wang Daniu finished speaking, he lifted the tarpaulin covering the two baskets, and two baskets of red jujubes appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Reading, a better reading experience.
